Chapter 82: The slave didn't find the princess
"Your Majesty..."
She opened her eyes in a daze, and there was no one on the side of the soft couch, only an empty one.
She shouted again, and the inner sanctum was still as silent as water, but outside, it was very noisy, and through the curtains, she saw the faint light of the fire outside, and the swaying figures.
Only here is she, there is silence.
She struggled, lifted the futon, climbed out of bed, wrapped herself in her coat, and walked slowly out along the blanket under her feet.
With her hands on the doorknob, she tried to open it, but found that it was locked outside, and she pulled it away, but she didn't move.
The sound of fighting outside became louder and louder, and there were screams, filling Yu Qiqi's eardrums, and there was a burst of panic in her heart, and her hand holding the doorknob was also covered in a layer of cold sweat.
She hurriedly walked away from the doorknob, ran back to the table, picked up the candle on the table, and when the candlelight reflected on the screen, a blood stain spilled on the screen, staining Yu Qiqi's eyes red.
"Notes, notes!" At this time, the first person she shouted out of her mouth was only Ah Jian, the person who was holding a long sword and guarding her at all times, and he was nowhere to be found at this time.
She ran to the window, and the window was also sealed, and she couldn't pull it open. A layer of sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead, trying to find something that could smash the door, but everything that could be smashed in the hall seemed to have been deliberately put away, and there was nothing that could be smashed.
Lowering her head and staring at the candlelight in her hand, she tore off the tablecloth on the table, pulled it to the door, threw the candlestick in her hand onto the tablecloth, and suddenly a fire lit up, and the fire rose upward, burning the tightly locked door.
She took a few steps back, staring at the rising flames in front of her, her heart rising and falling violently, her fingers firmly embedded in the palm of her hand.
At that time, Nangong Yan had already joined Shen Feihong and was attacking the weakly defended Nanzhao Imperial City, and the entire imperial city was filled with screams and screams.
Soon, they attacked the palace, and the Winged Water King and several princes did not find any clues.
By the time the guards guarding the palace gate ran to the edge of the dragon couch of the Winged Water King, they had already attacked the palace.
Yu Zhengxin and several princes protected the Yishui King and the Empress Nanzhao, rushed out of the palace gate, and the group was besieged outside the palace.
Chu Peiyu followed behind Nangong Yan, Yu Qiqi's dormitory was locked by him, and Ah Jian had been knocked unconscious by him and locked in her side hall.
When she awoke, she saw the light of the fire surging outside, and she heard the terrifying sound of horses' hooves and swords fighting.
"Princess! Princess! ”
What she blurted out was that she had been protecting Yu Qiqi by her side since she was a child.
There was no way to open the door, she condensed her palm, slapped her palm, and ran out of the door that was shaken open, and there was already chaos outside, full of fleeing palace maids and eunuchs.
She grabbed a little palace maid running in front of her and shouted, "Where's the princess?!" ”
The little palace maid's face was frightened, and she only shook her head desperately, she just let go of her hand and ran towards her dormitory.
At that time, Yu Qiqi's temple door had been burned open by fire, and the moment the temple door fell, she immediately rushed out, and the smoke stained her face, making her face stained with soot.
After coughing a few times, she clenched her heart and ran out along the corridor, encountering many corpses lying on the ground on the way, as well as palace people fleeing back and forth.
Suddenly, from a distance, she saw the people who raised their knives to kill her people, they were wearing the military uniforms of Yanjing soldiers, and the knives in their hands did not hesitate for a moment, and they killed them when they saw Nanzhao.
"Nangong Yan, Nangong Yan..." she was stunned in place, her eyes were full of scarlet, her mouth was muttering, and her heart was full of colic.
"Princess, run!"
Suddenly, a little eunuch pushed her from behind, and when she turned around, hot blood spilled on her face, causing her to close her eyes suddenly, and then there was a pungent smell of blood.
The little eunuch fell in a pool of blood, and standing in front of her was a Yanjing soldier with a knife in his hand. Seeing the water in front of him and the moving Yu Qiqi, the soldier became lustful, and even his eyes were blasphemous, he raised his steps, wanting to step forward and grab her, but he couldn't move his steps, he looked down and saw that the little eunuch's hand was still tightly holding his uniform.
There was a ruthless look on his face, the knife in his hand stabbed him again, Yu Qiqi's body shook violently, she glanced behind her, picked up the sword on the ground, and before he stood up straight, the sword in her hand pierced directly into his heart, leaving no room for an inch.
The soldier lowered her head and looked at the blood dripping from the blade, she pulled the sword back in her hand with all her might, and ran forward with the long sword.
The more I ran outside, the more intense the fighting became.
Along the way, the sword in her hand was stained with the blood of many people, and the clothes on her body were stained with blood, or on her face and neck.
A pair of eyes, which have already killed red eyes.
Ah Jian didn't find her in Yu Qiqi's dormitory, and hurriedly ran outside the dormitory, outside the palace, she saw Nangong Yan and Chu Peiyu, who surrounded the Yishui King and the Nanzhao Queen, and several princes were stubbornly resisting.
She grabbed the sword in her hand and rushed forward, slashing at the soldiers besieging them.
"Ahh
Chu Peiyu stood outside, looking at Ah Jian who suddenly rushed out, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't call out that name after all.
Ah Jian glared at him fiercely, the anger on her face was clearly visible, the sword in her hand did not stop, she kept slashing forward, she rushed into the encirclement, stood with the Winged Water King and the Empress Nanzhao, and helped several princes resist.
"Ah Jian, where is Ah Qi?"
Empress Nanzhao grabbed her hand and asked anxiously.
"Niangniang, the slave didn't find the princess, she must have rushed out." Ah Jian choked up and hurriedly turned back to her.
"There are Ting'er and them here, you can escape if you find an opportunity, find the princess, and take her away from Nanzhao!" Although Queen Nanzhao is over half a hundred years old, she is also holding a sword in her hand at the moment, she was originally from the general's mansion, and this skill is still there.
"Slave understands!"
At this moment, such a situation did not allow them to think too much, and when they heard Empress Nanzhao's words, Ah Jian nodded vigorously.
Nangong Yan's eyes did not show a trace of emotion, and he only ordered the soldiers besieging them to fight quickly. Chu Peiyu also attacked, looking at the guards in front of him who kept falling, Ah Jian stared at him and shouted, "Chu Peiyu!" ”
The bickering in the past crossed the eyes of the two of them, Chu Peiyu's hand holding the sword, paused, and behind him, Nangong Yan shouted, "Attack!" ”
His hands tightened and he continued to attack forward.
At that moment, Ah Jian deeply realized what is called heartache, in the sharp eyes of the past, two lines of tears slipped down, she smiled bitterly, wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves, turned hatred into palm power, and the sword in her hand was instantly stained with a large piece of bright red blood.
When Yu Qiqi appeared in front of them, his hair was messy, his eyes did not have the agility of the past, only bloodthirsty scarlet, and there were traces of blood on his body that had been swept all the way.
"Seventy-seven?"
Nangong Yan frowned, he didn't expect her to rush over like this, obviously he asked Chu Peiyu to arrange everything.
Yu Qiqi stood in front of him, panting, even in the air, there was a strong smell of blood, several of her brothers had fallen in a pool of blood, only Yu Zhengting and Ah Jian protected the Yishui King and the Empress Nanzhao.
"Daddy, Auntie, my daughter is not filial!"
She knelt down at them with the sword in her hand, her choked throat burning and hot tears streaming down her cheeks, stained with soot and blood.
"Ah Qi!"
The Winged Water King and the Nanzhao Empress shouted at the same time.
"It was Ah Qi who lured the wolf into the house, mistakenly believed the words of the thief, and did not listen to the persuasion of the two elder brothers, which caused today's tragedy, Ah Qi, Ah Qi is sorry for you and a few brothers, and sorry for the clansmen of Nanzhao!" Her shoulders shook violently, and tears poured down her cheeks, seeping into her tattered clothes.
The eyes of the Winged Water King and the Queen of Nanzhao were also covered with a layer of tears, and at this time, the firelight reflected the sky above Nanzhao, and under the firelight in the sky, it was the Nanzhao people who were full of corpses.
"You get up, even if this is the case, you can't lose the spirit of our Nanzhao people!" The Winged Water King swallowed the bitterness in his throat and reprimanded her.
She twitched the tip of her nose, wiped the tears from her face, stood up from the ground, and the sword in her hand swept across a handful of long hair in her hand, "Nangong Yan, from now on, I, Yu Qiqi, will be inseparable from you!" She let go of her hand, and the long hair in her hand fell to the ground, stinging Nangong Yan's eyes.
The affection of all kinds of care in the past has all disappeared in the face of national hatred and family hatred!
The long hair fell, the sword rose, and the sword in her hand stabbed at him, and he stood on the spot, his face heavy, but he did not move.
Chu Peiyu shouted, "Your Majesty! ”
He rushed over and blocked the sword that Yu Qiqi stabbed over, and the long sword pierced into his body, making his face turn pale in an instant.
Yu Qiqi twisted his brows, but there was no trace of emotion between his eyebrows.
"Chu Peiyu..."
Nangong Yan clasped Chu Peiyu's arm and didn't let him fall.
"Quick, take the princess away!"
At this time, taking advantage of the moment when Nangong Yan was distracted, the Winged Water King stepped back and shouted at her.
She retracted her eyes, ran to Yu Qiqi's side, took her hand and pulled it out, Yu Zhengting and the Winged Water King covered the two of them.
Nangong Yan raised his head, looked at the figure that was gradually moving away from him, his heart tightened, and he put Chu Peiyu on the side of the guard, and chased after him personally.
Yu Zhengting ran in front of him and blocked his way.
"You can't stop me!" He had a cold face, and with a quick blow of his palm, Yu Zhengting was shocked and flew out, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Even if I try my last breath, I'm going to stop it." Soon, he held his sword and moved in front of him little by little.
Nangong Yan's patience was exhausted by him, and in an instant, his palm fell on his skull, and he knelt down, with terrifying blood flowing from his head.
"Ting'er!" The Winged Water King and the Empress Nanzhao shouted and wanted to run towards him, but they were both stabbed into a spear behind them, and they also fell.
Ah Jian took Yu Qiqi and rushed all the way to the outside of the palace, the scene on the road was chaotic, a large number of Yanjing soldiers and Nanzhao soldiers were fighting, and no one noticed the two of them.
Suddenly, a figure ran towards them, "Seventh sister, Notes!" "It's Yan Shiqing who came all the way to catch up.
"Brother Qing..."
Yu Qiqi's eyes moved slightly, and a glimmer of light appeared on his flustered face.
"Lord Shizi, you hurry up and take the princess away!" Ah Jian stared at him, gasping for breath.
"You come with me!"
He glanced ahead at the fire-filled palace, led the two of them into the alley, hid the attention of the Yanjing soldiers on the street, and fled down the dark alley.
When Yanjing's soldiers rushed into Nanzhao, he took Yan Churan and Du Wanrong and them out of the Yan Palace, but he still couldn't worry about the situation in the palace, so he quietly walked to the palace despite Lin Chaoge's obstruction.
At this time, their carriage was still outside Nanzhao City, Yan Shiqing took Yu Qiqi and A Jian into the carriage, and the group fled from Nanzhao.
Nangong Yan chased him outside, but he didn't see Yu Qiqi, and Ah Jian was nowhere to be found, if it wasn't for no one to answer, they wouldn't have been able to escape so fast.
Suddenly, he remembered Yan Shiqing, who was also in the Nanzhao Imperial City, and when he saw the fierce horse parked beside him, he turned over directly and went to Yan Wang's Mansion, which was already empty.
Sitting in the bumpy carriage, the anger on Yu Qiqi's face had not completely faded, and the clothes on his body had not been tidied up, so he sat in a daze.
What flashed in front of her eyes was everything she saw in the palace.
Lin Chaoge took a set of clean clothes and handed them to Ah Jian, asking her to help Yu Qiqi change them, her clothes were stained with blood, and the smell of blood could be smelled in the whole carriage.
Ah Jian took the shirt, walked up to her and whispered, "Princess, Ah Jian will help you change your clothes." As soon as her hand touched Yu Qiqi's body, she reprimanded, "Don't touch me!" ”
Lin Chaoge saw it, and hurriedly pulled Ah Jian aside, "Her mood may not have calmed down yet, let's change it for her later." ”
Then, she poured a cup of tea for Yu Qiqi.
Ah Jian listened, so he had to nod.
She lowered her shirt and stepped out of the curtain.
They had two carriages, the one in front was driven by Qing Yu, and the one in the back was driven by Yan Shiqing, "Lord Shizi, where are you going to go?" ”
Ah Jian asked him.
"I discussed with Ge'er and went to Huizhou." His voice filled the darkness of the night.
"Okay."
Ah Jian replied softly, now they can only go to Huizhou first, and then make plans.
"I didn't expect Nangong Yan to do such a thing." After a while, Yan Shiqing slowly spoke.
"The princess trusted him in every way, and now it seems that everything he did was not for the princess, but to use the princess to conquer Nanzhao."
Ah Jian said coldly, his words revealing endless mockery.
"He is so wolfish and ambitious, he takes pity on the seventh sister." Yan Shiqing sighed, didn't say more, and only concentrated on driving the carriage in his hand, wanting to send them to Huizhou as soon as possible.
It was not until noon on the second day that the sound of fighting in the Nanzhao Imperial City slowly stopped, and many places had been reduced to ruins, and the city gates and streets were sprinkled with the blood of the Nanzhao people.
Shen Feihong and Gu Xia, who came from behind, cleaned up the corpses and ruins in the city, Chu Peiyu was seriously injured and could only be placed in the palace first, and Nangong Yan sent someone to arrest a Nanzhao imperial doctor to treat his injuries.
He sat on the dragon chair that the Winged Water King once made, and the morning sun had sprinkled the entire void temple, but he sat on the dragon chair, and there was no trace of warmth, only endless coldness.
"Nangong Yan, from now on, I, Yu Qiqi, will be inseparable from you!" The words that Yu Qiqi shouted last night kept rolling back and forth in his mind, making him feel suffocated in his heart.
She hated him and could never forgive him.
He sat on the dragon chair, still smiling bitterly, and there was no one around him.
After Shen Feihong threw the things in the city to Gu Xia, he walked back to the palace, and after looking for a long time, he found Nangong Yan, "Why are you sitting here alone?" ”
He stepped forward and asked him softly, and a burst of light shone in from the open door of the temple behind him, with a dazzling light.
"You take people to chase in the direction of Huizhou and see if they run in that direction." Nangong Yan didn't answer his words, only lowered his head and said slowly in his mouth.
"You're going to kill them all?"
Shen Feihong stood in front of him fixedly, not understanding why he was so ruthless. In the past, when Emperor Yan Jing dealt with the Shen family so ruthlessly, he held a grudge in his heart, but now seeing Nangong Yan also become like him, his heart was very uncomfortable.
"If you are in Huizhou, you must stay alive." He raised his head, his face tired, without a trace of pleasure in capturing Nanzhao.
"Forget it, let them go." Shen Feihong's expression was complicated, and he opened his mouth to intercede for them.
He clearly knew that when he made this decision, Yu Qiqi would no longer be willing to stay by his side, so why should he be so persistent.
"Don't you even listen to what I say?" He stared at Shen Feihong in front of him, and his voice was a little majestic.
"Why are you doing this?" He still asked.
"If you're used to being alone with you, there's no way you can let her follow someone else." He said quietly, a gloom flashing in his eyes.
He was used to Yu Qiqi staying by his side, and he would never allow Yan Shiqing to run away with her at this moment, even if she hated herself, he would tie her up to him.
"But she's leaving, it's your own hands!" Shen Feihong looked at him with such a gloomy look and reprimanded him.
Nangong Yan looked at him coldly, probably didn't expect him to be so angry with himself, he smiled, his smile was cool, "For the sake of Yanjing's stability, I have to do this." ”
Seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth, Shen Feihong couldn't see the expression on his face, "But Yanjing has just captured Western Chu, I don't understand why he wants to attack Nanzhao at this juncture?" ”
"Do you think that if the hands and feet of the King of Western Chu and the Emperor of Western Chu are not clean, the hands and feet of Nanzhao will be clean?" He tightened his eyes, the smile on his face faded, and he could only be cold.
"What do you mean by that?" Shen Feihong didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"I don't need to explain this to you, you just need to keep an eye on their tracks." Nangong Yan stood up, turned his back to him, and walked outside the hall.
Shen Feihong stood in place and looked at his departing back, only faintly felt that some things were not what he saw, he lowered his brows and walked out, and when the door of the palace was closed, there was a heavy knocking sound.
All night on the road, Yu Qiqi didn't sleep, she only hugged her knees, sat motionless, and Lin Chaoge poured the tea for her, and she didn't take a sip.
After the carriage stopped outside the Lin house, Ah Jian walked in and helped her down from the carriage, Yan Shiqing looked at her lost soul, and her eyes swelled with distress.
This time, Nangong Yan really hurt her deeply.
If he stood in front of them at this moment, he would not let him go.
Lin Chaoge and Su Xin walked up the steps first, knocked on the door, and after a while, a little girl walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Lin Chaoge, a burst of joy crossed the little girl's eyes, "Miss is back!" ”
"Are grandfather and brother alright?" She nodded slightly, and then asked him about the status of Old Marquis Lin and Lin Chaofu.
"The old marquis and the young master are all good." The little guy hurriedly replied.
Only then did he see that there were several people standing behind her. He hurriedly opened the door of the house and stood aside, "You guys go to the house first." ”
"Father, Mother, come in." Lin Chaoge turned his head and said to Yan Churan and Du Wanrong behind him, and Concubine Yi also helped Wu Lian and followed them in.
"Seventh sister, let's go."
Yan Shiqing asked Ah Jian to help Yu Qiqi in, he glanced at the situation outside, and then walked in and asked the little maid to close the door of the house.
Inside, Lin Chaofu watched them walk in, his face was stunned, Huizhou is a small place, the news is blocked, he doesn't know what happened to Nanzhao at all.
"What's going on?" He pulled Lin Chaoge aside and asked quietly.
"Brother, this matter is a long story, has he rested grandfather?" She frowned.
"Just rested."
Lin Chaofu glanced at the people in the main hall again before replying to her.
"I'm going to settle my father and mother first, and later, I'll go with my husband to explain it to you, and take a look at my grandfather by the way."
A room full of people was still sitting in the main hall, and Lin Chaoge had no way to leave them behind.
"Well, you go get busy." Lin Chaofu nodded and asked her to help.
She frowned slightly, and then entered the main hall. Together with Yan Shiqing, she took them down to settle down.
After everything was taken care of, she pulled Yan Shiqing aside, "Do you want to invite a husband to come over and show the seventh princess?" ”
Yu Qiqi has never said a word since he got into the carriage.
Yan Shiqing looked at Yu Qiqi sitting on the brocade bench by Mu Ran, and shook his head, "No need, she didn't suffer any injuries, I'm just afraid that she just wants to be alone at the moment, we invite the husband over, she may not be willing to see it." ”
Lin Chaoge remembered the picture when Ah Jian wanted to change her clothes, so he had to give up.
"Princess, drink your saliva first." Ah Jian stepped forward and held the water cup in her hand, she didn't speak, but she didn't even drink a sip of water.
"Tell me, Aji, it's all fake, isn't it? My father, aunt and brothers are all fine in Nanzhao, right? ”
Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Ah Jian in a daze, her eyes glazed over, but with a hint of longing.
Ah Jian twitched the tip of his nose and swallowed the pain in his throat, "Princess, you drink water first, and after drinking water, Ah Jian will tell you." She held the glass of water and moved it forward another inch.
Yu Qiqi lowered his head, looked at the ripples in the water cup, picked it up, and drank it with his head up. Then, those eager eyes fell on her face again.
"The emperor and queen and several princes have already died in the palace, but you are the seventh princess of Nanzhao, you must not be so depressed, what flows in your body is the blood of the Nanzhao royal family!"
After Ah Jian finished speaking, the corners of his eyes were already moist.
"It's true, the pictures I saw are real, not fake, not dreaming," she muttered to herself, wrinkling her eyebrows.
The person's face flashed in front of her, and anger appeared in her eyes, "It's Nangong Yan, it's all Nangong Yan!" ”
She clutched the shirt on her knees, trembling with rage, her cheeks flushing with the breath she breathed.
At this moment, she realized that he had no heart.
He was the one who killed their children, and he was bent on breaking through her inner defenses. On that day in the main hall, she chose to believe in him instead of her father and brother, she deserved to die, she deserved to die!
Her hands beat her knees back and forth.
"Princess, you can't blame yourself, you must not blame yourself, otherwise the mother is under the nine springs, how sad they should be..."
Ah Jian took her hand and didn't let her beat herself again.
After a long time, Yu Qiqi's mood stabilized, and Ah Jian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, helped her change her clothes, and waited for her to lie down.
Although she hadn't slept all night and had not yet recovered from her illness, she had several nightmares that woke her up from her bed again and again.
Ah Jian prepared a basin of water and a sweat towel for her, and helped her wipe off a lot of sweat beads from her forehead.
Seeing that Yu Qiqi and Yan Churan had settled down, Lin Chaogecai and Yan Shiqing went to find Lin Chaofu together, and at that time, the old marquis Lin had already woken up from his lunch break.
"Ge'er, what difficulties have you encountered in Nanzhao?" The old marquis's body is quite tough, which shows that Lin Chaofu takes good care of him.
"Grandfather, Nangong Yan not only recovered Western Chu, but also attacked Nanzhao, and now the entire Nanzhao is occupied by the soldiers of Yanjing, we have no choice, we have to flee back to Huizhou first, and then make plans."
Lin Chaoge stepped forward and shook his hand.
"Nangong Yan?" Old Marquis Lin's eyes crossed with a burst of consternation, he remembered Nangong Yan who was above the Yanjing court and confronted him in front of all the courtiers, at that time, he was only the prince of Yanjing, and now, he has recovered Xichu and Nanzhao.
"Exactly."
Lin Chaoge nodded.
"But I heard that you brought his queen here, will it set him on fire?" After all, Yu Qiqi is the person next to Nangong Yan, if he is unwilling to let Yu Qiqi go, they will always be with him, it will be very dangerous.
"Now that there is only one Seventh Princess left in the Nanzhao royal family, we can't let her stay in Nanzhao alone, and she won't be saved when she dies." Lin Chaoge glanced at Yan Shiqing and said firmly to the old marquis Lin.
Now that they had made up their minds, he couldn't say more.
As soon as Lin Chaoge and Yan Shiqing came out of the old marquis Lin, they saw Ah Jian running out of the east wing in a panic, which was the courtyard where Yu Qiqi stayed.
As soon as he saw Yan Shiqing, Ah Jian hurriedly ran up, and said with an uneasy expression, "Lord Shizi, the princess is gone!" ”
"Don't see? How could it not be seen? By the time they left, her mood had stabilized.
"As soon as the princess fell asleep, she had nightmares again and again, and the slave maid only went to fetch water, and when she came back, she was gone."
Ajian furrowed his brows and looked around anxiously.
"Is her stuff still there?" He wanted to make sure if she had gone on her own or if something had happened.
"It's all there."
She nodded hurriedly.
A trace of anxiety flashed between Yan Shiqing's eyebrows, and a touch of unease surged in his heart.
